Courage, Willingness To Model And Subtle Culture

I personality think the three skills I consider to be the most important are Courage, Willingness to Model and Subtle Culture.

Courage is demonstrated through your willingness (a) to be vulnerable at times, admitting mistakes and imperfections and taking the same risks you expect group members to take; (b) to confront others but to stay present with them as you work out conflicts; (c) to act on your beliefs and hunches; (d) to be emotionally affected by others and to draw on your experiences to identify with them; (e) to examine your life; and (f ) to be direct and honest with members in a caring and respectful way.” (Corey, Corey, Corey 2010). Courage is important when working with other especially in a group setting. There will be times were things will not run smooth and mistakes will occur. I have personality have learned

Through your behavior and the attitudes conveyed by it, you can create such group norms as openness, seriousness of purpose, acceptance of others, respect for a diversity of values, and the desirability of taking risks.” (Corey, Corey, Corey 2010). Willingness to Model is important because I believe in “practice what you preach”. Counselors should show proper behavior as he/she is working with clients. I believe a counselor should always be respectful with other and respect diversity values. If a counselor respects others she will also be respected. Working with different characteristics can be a change but a counselor should model the behavior and attitude professional. One of my strengths is Willingness to model, I stay professional at all times even though there are times were I get rude people, but that does not change my behavior at
